Editorial Correspondence
ELKH0RN, 'Wisconsin, Aug.
27. Were it not for the pub
licity complex, we could stage
an interesting debate on the
farm problem.
Sometime ago we wrote
about a farmer near here who
served such excellent green
corn, and claimed he had made
money on his "model" farm
the past three yesw.
He dismissed the prevailing
farmers' lament as so much
applesauce ; declared farmers
as a class are better off than
any other, and cited his com.
plete penury as a pump manu
facturer, and his comparative
prosperity as a farmer, as proof
of the assertion.
"We remarked at the time
there must be a "catch" in it,
but didn't know just where, for
the agriculturist in question,
offered to produce his books as
evidence, end in the dinner
table conversation, seemed to
welcome the idea of any dirt
farmer-having the crust to dis
pute him.
This story proved to be "too
much" for Mr. and Mrs. Carl
von dcr Hcllen of Wcllen, and
the latter (who recently had
her experiences as a farmer's
wife published in the ladies'
Home Journal), sent us an
interesting and vigorous pro
test, closing as follows :
"Here's to your friend. He Is
farming as we - have always
dreamed of farming. It must be
rem sport to farm for fun and
not have to worry yourself sick
which will mature first the lit
ter of pigs or the note at the
bank! I trust now you can see
the "catch "
Scenting a thrilling debate
between Elkhorn, Wisconsin
and Wellen, Oregon, we came
up here and handed over Mrs.
von der Hellen's letter to the
businessman-farmer, asking
that he allow us to use his
name, and thereby give his
counter attack validity.
"Not on your life I" ejnc'u-
lated our farmer friend. "I
have enough trouble with the
people around here as it is.
They would call me a liar in a
hundred different languages,
and the looal grange would
probably burn me in effigy.
For I am known as a white
collar farmer in contrast to a
dirt farmer, a slick city feller,
who clips coupons and calls
them farm profits. I have a
few good farmer friends but
not many. It's really n com
bination of envy and enmity
class enmity and I have
enough troubles without get
ting in the newspapers and
throwing oil on tho flames. But
I could answer your Oregon
friend if I wanted to, and con
vince her with my books.
"She says I am 'FARMING
FOR FUN!"
"That's juftt what I am NOT
doing I I am farming for a
profit and making it. I admit
it, takes money. I admit this
farm and its equipment is a
large factor in my success, but
more important I am doing the
work myself with the aid of my
family each of us has a job
we are operating on a business
basil, and counting in the in
terest on my money, and in
spite of the present low prices,
I am not only making a living
but I am putting cash in the
bank every Fall,
"I admitted before, I wasn't
making much money, I ques
tioned whether or not I could
do it, with large interest
charges to pay (in fact I know
I couldn't) but what I did say
and what I repeat, and what I
know to be true for I have the
figures to prove it, is,
"Any man with a good, well
equipped farm like this today
is better off, financially, than
any average business or profes
sional man, and under present
conditions I would rather have
this farm, than the pump fac
tory that represent one hun
dred times as much money, and
at one .time paid nie at least ten
times as much profit. And I
also know this, this same
farm, when higher prices pre
vailed, run by a dirt farmer,
under my direction, not only
never made me a dime, but cost
me several hundred, some
times several thousand dollars
a year.
"And running it myself and
doing my own work, it is a rnn
ning and a paying proposition.
"There's another thing. I
get a premium for my milk and
my eggs the first certified,
the second sold to high class
Chicago trade. I have a per
fectly coordinated business,
each department helps the
other. I have a dairy herd, I
have chickens white Rocks
mostly I have pigs. I raise
my own vegetables, I cure my
own bacons and hams, my gro
cery and meat bills a month
are less than my bills for to
bacco and cigarets. Then we
haven't had to buy any clothes,
pay any club dues, and the
children have gone to a coun
try school a very good one,
too, by the way.
"My whole point is this! I
am sick and tired of listening
to these farmers around here
squawk. They are never satis
fied. If prices are high they
have a short crop ; if prices are
low they can't make expenses;
if it doesn't rain they are going
to be dried out j if it DOES rain
they are going to be flooded
out; they are never satisfied,
WHATEVER IS, IS WRONG.
It's all a lot of hooey. I
know, for I am a farmer my
self, not as a side line but as
my only line, not farming for
fun but to make my living.
And I am doing it. And I
maintain any man with a good
farm, good health, good sense,
and not afraid of manual work
can do it too. You can't do it
as a landlord or as a tenant
farmer; you can't do it with a
big debt around your neck, and
you can't make any big money,
under any circumstances, but
you can make a living, and a
good one, bring up a faniilyi
and enjoy life. I know for 1
have done it I And I tell you
that's a lot under present con
ditions." Such an argument without
identification, we admit, is not
worth much. It's easy to argue
anonymously, and Mr. B-
refuses to argue any other way.
As an impartial judge we
would say, our farmer friend
and Mrs. von der Hcllen are
both right.
That is to soy we don't ques
tion Mr. B has done just what
he claims to have done. He is
a good business man and a hard
worker. But it is fairly obvi
ous he has enjoyed advantages
which farmers as a rule do not
enjoy.
Most, of them are in debt and
must operate on borrowed cap
ital, few of them have a farm
equipped with every labor sav
ing device, close to such a high
market as Chicago, With ma
tured business experience and
some knowledge of practical
farm work, he started with a
going concern, which required
no money for improvements
and equipment purchases. So
we can't regard his experience
as typical.
At the sanfe time we believe
there is something to say for
his argument that a man with
a good farm, in this rich and
thickly populated country, is
far better off, under present
economia conditions, than thou
sands of business and profes
sional men. And we also be
lieve he is an exception, in the
fact that he admits his good
fortuue and appreciates it.

Forty-three scientific expedi
tions are ready to view today's
eclipse. The weather bureau
predicts clouds, but that won't
spoil the eclipse. Night will
come on gradually. Some that
"know all about it" will be
worried, and "feel queer."
Chickens will go to roost. Mr.
Vernon Bailey, on behalf of
Department of Agriculture,
will study them and other ani
mals in New Hampshire watch
ing especially for signs of fear.
Fear of what we call "super
natural" events, brings the
animals close to human nature.
The area of total eclipse will
be a belt of shadow 100 miles
wide. To thwart the weather
man, thirty aviators at various
points along the shadow belt
will stand ready to carry scien
tists nbove the clouds.
Hundreds of thousands have been
spent that scientists may take obser
vations during the ninety seconds
that the eclipse will last.
Our old Father the Sun, moving
through space, shedding light and
power In the form of broken down
atoms, losing actual .weight two hun
dred and fifty million tons every
minute, and able to continue that
loss for tens of millions of years lon
ger, will sail on in his majestic course
dragging our earth and the other
planets with him, in blissful Ignor
ance of our "Important eclipse."
This Is unusual. The Reverend
Harold Francis Davidson, of London,
convicted In a British court of "Im
morality," says he will come here,
bringing one or two young ladles In
the case with him, "to raise money
for his appeal" from the decision con
demning him.
You need not wonder at the rever
end gentleman's decision. He prob
ably said to himself: "Americans gave
ten billions of dollars, wl'.hout much
hope of getting It back, to nations
engaged In murdering each other.
They surely would give a few thou
sands to a British clergyman convict
ed of demoralizing young girls." .
We know that the reverend gentle
man Is mistaken, but -you can't ex
pect him to know. ' Those Americans
are so queer."

One above the other on a front
page you read two news Items.
First, "A gray haired man sat on a
bench In Prospect Park, Brooklyn, to
day and shot and killed himself." He
had twenty-aiwcn cents concealed In
the band of his hat and left a note
asking to be "dropped Into deep
water." He dropped into deep water
when he pulled the trigger.
Second, you read, "Spaniard dies at
108.'' Fellp Juare Valle Esptnoso had
seven children, fifty grandsons, sixty
one great grandsons. If babies did
not die, how soon he world would
be over-populated.
Why do some of us hanj on to life
grimly, urglnj death to etay away,

O rent Is the power of New York
state's governor.
Not all governors have realized It.
Justice Staley of New York's supreme
court, refusing to enjoin Governor
Roosevelt from Interfering with
Mayor Walker, says the courts hsve
no power over the governor, or of his
person. For errors, if any, of law or
fact .or deed, the governor Is respon
sible not to the courts, but to his
own conscience.
The governor of New York and
other states, like the president of the
United states, could do almost any

THE ECONOMY OP AM
Within the past ten years progres
sive physicians have developed satis
factory technlo for the smbulant
treatment of sev
e r a 1 conditions
which formerly
required h o s p I
t a 1 1 z atlon and
confinement to
bed for periods of
days or weeks. By
ambulant treat
ment we mean
treatment which
la successfully
.employed while
tue patient keeps
at his ordinary work or activities.
First came the injection or chemical
obliteration of varicose veins. Then
the diathermy extirpation of Infect
ed tonsils. Then the Injection treat
ment of Internal hemorrhoids. Then
the injection treatment of hernia.
It Is only fair and right to say
that, in competent hands, every one
of these modern methods is giving at
least as satisfactory results as the
older ' standard surgical treatment
gives In competent hands. I think
the risks involved are rather less In
ambulant treatment than they are In
the older methods of operating. So
far as I can learn, the prospect of
recurrence or of failure to cure or
give lasting relief Is no greater when
amublant treatment Is selected than
It Is when the standard operation -a
done.
Some physicians of good standing
and repute still disapprove, condemn
or advise patients against having am
bulant treatment, mainly, I fear, be
cause these good physicians have not
had an opportunity to see such treat
ment applied by a man who has made
a proper study of the method and
received adequate clinical Instruction
In the technic. I know this is the
basis of the unfavorable view taken
by some throat surgeons of the dia
thermy method for tonsils. From the
character of inquiries I have received
from clinical surgeons In reference
to the smbulant treatment of hernia
I know they, too, base their preju
dice upon their Ignorance of the sci
entific principles of such treatment.
The Injection treatment of hernia has
been most bitterly condemned by well
meaning but nevertheless Ignorant
surgeons Ignorant of this modern
method. Here and there these sur
geons, are seelrig the light and even
getting down off the high horse and
seeking clinical Instruction In the
ambulant method from colleagues
who have mastered the technic.
Many throat surgeons now advocate
the use of the diathermy method for
cleaning up tags of tonsil tissue left
in the throat after the radical ton
sllectomy somehow they prefer '.o
fall back, on the diathermy method
rather than break the news to the ,
patient that he mnt undergo an

to come In handy sooner or liter.
nrvHB world Is really advancing.
People used to ten children
things DELIBERATELY to make
them afraid, so Viat they would be

good. Again KNOWLETxiK la helping out.
